Providing children with age appropriate activities, trained professional staff, state of the art computer labs; cool, clean, well maintained buildings and a safe, healthy atmosphere to learn and grow has been the ultimate goal of the Boys & Girls Clubs of East County.

The Clubs offer programs that influence the growth and welfare of our members in five core areas; Character and Leadership, Education and Career, Health & Life Skills, The Arts and Sports, Fitness and Recreation. Our mission; to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances to realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens; is what these activities provide; positive alternatives to poor behavior choices that may influence their futures.
